Mission

Our mission encompasses chemical and biochemical education in a broad sense, the generation of new knowledge and technology, and service to the scientific community and the public at large.

Research

Research as an integral part of our mission towards gaining fundamental and applied knowledge, with the goal of discoveries that benefit humankind and training the next generation workforce.

Education

Molecular understanding is central to asking and answering many important questions, so we educate thousands of students on our campus every year. Our majors get degrees in either Chemistry or Biochemistry, with opportunities to focus on a variety of undergraduate tracks or graduate specializations. We also provide training for those interested in education as a career, including opportunities to work with our faculty who are teaching experts in the pursuit and publication of research in chemical education.
